“I am excited that Andy has agreed to become the executive director of PEDC again. He’s a valuable asset to not only Portage but Northwest Indiana,” said Justin Mount, who is president of the PEDC board of directors. “We have great plans for how PEDC can help the city attract quality businesses to Portage, as well as how we can help Portage businesses continue to stay healthy and expand.”
